BT Sport is giving Bedford Blues fans the chance to feature in an upcoming broadcast of their live programme, Rugby Tonight on Wednesday 31st October 2018.

Bedford Rugby Followers Association have been approached by the producers for up to 100 Blues’ supporters to be in the audience for the programme after last season’s successful debut appearance. Fans are simply asked to proudly wear their Bedford colours.

Supporters will be required to be at the Olympic Park studio in Stratford, East London, for 7pm for rehearsals. The show is broadcast live from 8pm to 10pm.

As part of the live club audience, Blues fans have also been invited to provide the demo team. For anyone who hasn’t seen the programme, a presenter (usually Austin Healey) along with the studio guest (they are going to try and get a former Blue) will demonstrate a move from the previous week’s Premiership matches with fans stepping in as attackers/defenders.

Therefore, as well as looking for audience members we are also looking for half a dozen or so people - either current or former players, touch rugby team, coaches of any local team or anyone who is prepared to don kit and take part in the demo – 3 minutes of fame.

The Followers Association will be running a coach – cost will be minimal – see Followers website for details of cost and departure times in the next couple of weeks.

Supporters interested in appearing on the show should email Mel Grover on bedfordrugbyfollowers@gmail.com with the subject Rugby Tonight stating their name and the number of tickets they would like and also if they require a seat on the coach.
